The vajra is a spiritual weapon and tool sacred to Vajrayana Buddhism and Hinduism. The word "vajra" means both "diamond" and "thunderbolt" in Sanskrit. A Tibetan vajra is known as a "dorje".
The Buddhist vajra weapon symbolizes the masculine principle (upaya), strength, and wisdom. It is a Tantric symbol of the absolute, beyond opposition, the Three Jewels, and the union of the spiritual and material world.
